At one interview I was asked "how do you handle stress?"
Looking each interviewer in the eye first I then lifted my fingers to my lips to riffle them whilst going brrr, bbrrrru, brrrreee, smiled & waited for them to either say "thank you, we don't need you" or the follow up question of "how often do you do that?" to which the answer is "Never, I organise the work & people dealt with not to stress me out."
As expected they didn't ask the question and I didn't have to tell them I did not wish to work with them.

Hahaha,
Absolutely, delegation is critical.
Actually I went for a job interview yesterday, hence the theme of the jokes.
I want the post so have prepared pretty hard for it.
Looking pretty promising, as the organisation has asked for two referees.
My friend who was assisting with the job prep sent me this gem:
Human resource pros share the worst things they've seen, from real candidates trying to get hired. Here's what not to do.
This anecdote was the best one:

@Zealandia Removing her socks & taking a phone call sound rude. . . Reminds of the woman the other night who complained that our phone conversation at 9pm. was keeping her from properly watch the tennis on the TV and then she carried on talking for 90 minutes also claiming that I hadn't let her speak!
